Cota purchased 80 of the 95 Flx and all of them have them have the engine and trans combo you note. Cota just repainted all but, two of them strtng frm the summer of 08 through last summer. Two were knock out due to accidents in 2008, 9515 and (9537 this one I heard may get fixed). Thy are still a primary flleet. The 67, 9300s tht were purchased are now considered the bck up except 9301 it's out everyday. The new flyers don't like the heat so I'm sure the 9300s will be out this summer.
